Kat has been helping with our pets for years, from about the age of nine. She started doing small walks, or checking the litter boxes and food when we weren't home. She has graduated to watching our dogs and cats when we are out of town. She takes the dogs for runs, swimming, and long walks. She feeds them and cleans up after them. She sits with the cats and gives them attention when we are gone. She feeds them cleans the litter boxes. Kat loves animals and is great with them. I trust her with all our pets and am always happy when she is available to give them some attention. She can gauge the need of each pet and determines what type of day they might need. One dog might need her to throw the ball to work out some energy and the other might just need some love. PLUS they all love to see her, which speaks volumes! You can't go wrong with Kat!
